        <title>Right side Ablation</title>
        <description> My AF has increased in frequency again and my EP wants to try a right side ablation with an investigative cathater, He says he has been averaging about 50% success with this procedure.
This cathater has been rejected by the FDA for insuficient data, but appears to be reasonably safe and effective, it produces a linear leasion that seems to do the trick, according to what I have read.
This AF has made a mess of my life and I am at the moment leaning towards going thrugh the procedure but I am also trying not to be too desperate.
I have had one ablation for Wolf parkinson white syndrome and it was after that the AF popped up, I don&amp;#039;t if the previous ablation had anything to do with the AF or not.
Any experience or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

            <description><![CDATA[ Bill - Mine is set to pace if the rate drops below 70bpm. As my natural hr is in the range 48/60 that means it&#039;s on all the time except when I&#039;m exercising. My p/m technician says he has quite a bit of success out-pacing the natural rythm of the heart. Good luck!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Rod-- I&#039;m not sure mine has that capability-I&#039;ll certainly check.  I believe from reading your posts in the past that you have either a medtronic or guidant model.  Mine is a model from st. jude.  I believe your&#039;s is activated if AF begins while mine is designed to suppress AF before it begins.  Your&#039;s seems to be working- mine was, but no longer.  I was having episodes every 3-7 days prior to implant.  Four months of NSR ,then one month ,then two days.  I see my EP next week.  I&#039;ll ask about atria only pacing.  Thanks]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Bill- Have you tried having the pacemaker set to pace the atria only (with ventricles on back-up only if the rate falls)? I&#039;m into my tenth month with this and it&#039;s working well. I also take 180mgs SR Verapamil once a day to slow my natural pacing. My p/m has all the anti-AF gismos but they&#039;ve never had to be switched on. Before the p/m I had 12/18 hour sessions every other day.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Joe- Sounds like you are talking about the Cardima procedure.  I was part of the original trial and was on the wrong side of the 50%.  Since then I have had a pacemaker implant with the AF  suppression algorithim.  Worked great for 4 months(pacemaker) then AF after 127 days, then after 37 days, then again after 40 hours this past Monday. My next step will be the Cleveland Clinic-no more trials.  If I were you I would bypass the Cardima procedure and go for a PVI.  Only one person&#039;s opinion.]]></description>
